After the successful renovation 2 years ago, there were 2 developments under the Wyniger management:1. At the beginning there was a menu for every taste and budget, but with overwhelmed staff.2. In the second year of operation, the menu was reduced in offerings and at the same time the prices were significantly increased. The customers have therefore adapted to the “upper class” level, and fortunately the service has too.The menus on the lunch menu are an unreasonable price/performance ratio. Menu 1 for CHF 25 is already a cost-optimized canteen meal. The “lesser” menu 2 for CHF 23.- is then the same basis as menu 1, but without meat! Food between CHF 25 and CHF 35 is not available or, at best, is a loveless sausage salad, burger or fish crispy from the freezer. Such meal offerings, which require minimal material and labor, are not a real alternative for the guest, but the kitchen has 0% effort. There is no easier way to “earn” money. The quality of the food is average and the quantity is overpriced for the price. The Waldhaus cannot or does not want to position itself as a restaurant for everyone, which is unfortunate given the location and history of the house. We will see how customers react to this in the medium term. I'm bored with the same, overpriced, run-of-the-mill offer and am now keeping my distance.
